Chemical precursors for fake liquor in Kutch raid came from outside Gujarat, police say

A day after a major raid in Kutch, Gujarat police disclosed that the chemical precursors used to produce counterfeit liquor were sourced from outside the state. The revelation suggests a larger, inter-state smuggling and manufacturing network operating behind the production of fake alcohol.

The raid recovered significant quantities of duplicate liquor and manufacturing equipment. Investigators are now tracing the supply chain of the chemical inputs to identify the source points and networks involved in distributing these precursors across state lines.

Authorities are stepping up efforts to dismantle the entire operation, focusing on both the manufacturing unit and the external suppliers feeding the operation.
